Ingredients

ok lets start with the don'ts. Don't expect anything on the first date, just because she agreed to go out with you doesn't mean she is going to sleep with you too.
Don't assume she is going to pay, because even though we believe in women's lib we as a group still believe its the mans place to pay for dinner.(you know like most of you believe its the women's place to cook and clean for you)
Don't become possessive we like to be protected not controlled.
Don't act like you don't care or act indifferent we need to see your feelings. Don't reach out and grab our private areas trying to turn us on because all you end up doing is turning us off.
Don't assume anything. even though we are a confusing part of the human species NO still means No! NOT MAYBE!
Don't assume we have the protection covered even if we say we do. Cover yourself use a condom.
Don't just jump to conclusions,ask the questions and get the answers first before going to bed with the person.
Don't assume she is going to ask you in when the date is over, and don't feel hurt if she doesn't.

Don't spend the night if you are dating a single mom and the children are home.
Don't meet the children till you're sure you are ready for a family

Don't try being their dad while dating their mom
Don't be the one to discipline at all but don't become the middle person. (they won't thank you in the long run)
Don't let the children play you against the mom,
Don't let your feelings for their mom cloud your better judgement.
Don't assume anything.
Don't think we need your help,advice,input or strength.(most women these days may WANT all of these things from you but we do not NEED them)
Don't try and fix everything for us
Don't think we don't need you just because we are strong.
Don't become offended if you don't get us asking for your help all of the time with the heavy stuff.
Don't get your nickers in a bunch when we don't come screaming for your strong arms to hold us when we get upset.
Don't think for one minute that you are not needed or wanted in our lives just because we can do things and survive without you for more that a few minutes of every day.
